Estuary EDventures’ field trips are hosted at the Tampa Bay Watch Auer Marine Education Center in Tierra Verde, Florida. Field trips are facilitated by experienced educators with degrees in biology, marine biology, and environmental sciences and are aligned to Next Generation Sunshine State Standards. Programs are designed to engage students in hands-on, experiential labs and field activities focused on the estuarine environment. Whether seining, dissecting, or identifying, students learn basic science principles and leave feeling inspired. Financial assistance available for qualifying schools.
Students paddle through the pristine Shell Key Preserve and learn about the unique estuarine habitats.
Students immerse themselves in the bay, exploring the various habitats and their inhabitants. Participants must provide their own snorkel gear.
